At The Current Rate Of Repairs Volkswagen Will Complete Fixing All Defective Diesels Sometime In 2048

Volkswagen AG will need to speed up its recall of rigged diesel engines in Germany dramatically to finish within a year as planned, because at the current rate the process won’t be done before 2048.

Since starting repairs to 2.4 million affected cars in its home country three weeks ago, Volkswagen has fixed 4,300 vehicles. That’s a rate of about 1,400 autos a week, when more than 46,000 would need to be processed weekly for the company to finish within a year.

Passats by the hundreds under the extreme sun of South Florida and signs of Jettas for $99/month near where I live (I guess anything so long they can move all that metal)
How could a once upon a time good company do that to itself?

The solution is not the fix the cars and hit VW with a fine as large as what it would take to fix the cars.
